TOKYO -- Singapore's Grab is well-aware of the growing pressure on global startups to turn a profit, but the ride hailer turned do-it-all super app believes making a positive social impact is just as crucial, co-founder Tan Hooi Ling said in an interview on Oct. 29.
From the get-go, Grab embraced the principle of a "double bottom line," Tan said -- a concept that tries to measure conventional earnings as well as the social contributions a company makes.
